In Colombia, you can go rafting or doing other extreme sports in several places. The most popular place to do this is San Gil. Although in San Gil<\/strong><\/a>, Barichara<\/strong><\/a> and surrounding areas there is much beauty to see and many opportunities for extreme sports, you do have to take a 8-hour bus ride from Bogot\u00e1 first.

Tobia: a true extreme sports paradise in Colombia<\/h2>\n

In just two hours you will ride from 2,600 meters altitude in Bogot\u00e1 to 750 meters altitude in Tobia, a total distance of over 70 kilometers.<\/p>\n

In the same direction as beautiful San Francisco<\/strong><\/a>, but a little lower altitude. Because of this low altitude, Tobia is quite warm. So that means leaving in Bogot\u00e1 in about 10 degrees, to arrive two hours later with about 30 degrees.<\/p>\n

The village itself can hardly be called a village, it is more like a t-crossing with some houses. Even the classic Colombian village image of a square with a church is missing. Consequently, only about 2,200 people live there. Despite this small size, there is an extraordinary amount to do!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
